After that it requires a statement placard / plate that says that the boat manufacture conforms to all Coast Guard applicable laws. Agreed. My smaller boats had/has one.........the larger boats did not. My 25' Parker had one. I don't remember the number, might have been 12 or 14, but whatever it was, the passenger capacity was colossal, in my mind, for a boat that size. Most I ever had aboard for fishing was...four passenger/guests. |

Please understand that 8 is the maximum capacity and certainly not recommended on an 18 foot bowrider. That's one thing I notice a lot out on the Bay...small boats, 14-footers, with four or five passengers, and not much freeboard left. I pretty much can guess what would happen if they got hit by the wake from one of those Xanadu barges that roar by, bows up in the air and wakes the size of a small roller coaster. |

I am smarter. :) When I bought my boat, I asked about a capacity plate and was told by the manufacturer, that my size boat only required the complies with regs tag. They have to know the regs. I just have to put money in the boat. |

The only reason to ever remove it would be if it was stolen. Serial numbers.... I would NEVER buy a boat minus those tags. In our area, it is also required. |

Fuel Update
What is the prescribed fuel for a 2005 Merc Tracker 60 HP Two stroke ? It
adds its own oil to the mix but will Regular unleaded (87 octane) work ? I saw a local gas station advertising "Boat Gas" but don't know what they re selling. BTW: I don't have the boat/motor here yet, its coming up from Florida next month so I can't RTFM BTW2: Reg Unl here is sold in liters (think Quarts) @ $ 140.9 That's working out to $ 5.32 gallon and a NEW tax kicks in that should push it up to $ 5.40..SWMBO says its up to 145.9 today, thats $ 5.51 US gallon OUCH ! When I had my Bayliner 2350 back in the 80's, "Marine gas" was Regular LEADED gas and was about 15 cents/Gal cheaper (72 cents) than "road" gas because there were no "Highway" taxes on it.Do they still sell "marked gas" (No/Low tax) for farm/off road purposes ? Is it UNLEADED ? Will that work in a two stroke (if I could find any)? |
